G&A is led by Dutch-hotelier Raoul Gransier, Senior Hospitality Executive & Advisor, and Founder & Principal of G&A, based in Vienna, Austria.
For more than 25 years, Raoul and his team have worked across hospitality and tourism operations, portfolio leadership, owner representation, and international advisory assignments.
His experience spans independent and branded hotels, mixed-use developments, owner-operated businesses, private-equity-backed assets, and institutionally financed environments.
Clients engage G&A Executive Leadership at moments where performance, governance, or leadership clarity is at risk — typically during openings, transitions, underperformance, restructuring, or strategic inflection points.
What distinguishes G&A’s work is not a title but the clarity of its mandate.
Each engagement is defined by who decides, who executes, and who carries accountability.
G&A does not offer generic roles or blended assignments.
It provides clearly governed leadership engagement models, selected based on the level of authority required for the situation.
Advisory, oversight, and execution are never mixed implicitly.
Where transitions between them occur, they are agreed explicitly and documented.
This website outlines how we work, what we deliver, and where we add value—across executive, board-level, and advisory mandates.
